Notes |
- Excerpt from Wikipedia:
In 1172, he fought against the count of Luxembourg, Henry IV the Blind, and his ally, the count of Hainault, Baldwin V. The environs of Arlon were devastated and the duke, overcome, had to recompense the count of Luxembourg for the wrongs he had done him. In 1183, he supported the election of Fulmar as archbishop of Trier. This was opposed by the Emperor Frederick Barbarossa.
Henry had to fight his nephew, Henry I of Brabant in connection with the advocacy fo the abbey of Saint-Trond. The Brabantine duke claimed the advocacy as part of his mother's dowry. An arrangement put an end to the war in 1191 and the duke of Limburg became a vassal of the duke of Brabant. The two dukes collaborated in the internal affairs of the region.
Henry later supported Otto of Brunswick over Philip of Swabia as German king and imperial claimant. He fought at the Battle of Bouvines in 1214.
